&fn() should be copied, not moved #8331

Description

@stepancheg

Code:

fn baz(f: &fn()) {
    let g = f;
    let h = f;
}

fails with:

/.../tmp.rs:3:12: 3:13 error: use of moved value: `f`
/.../tmp.rs:3     let h = f;
                  ^
/.../tmp.rs:2:12: 2:13 note: `f` moved here because it has type `&fn<no-bounds>()`, which is moved by default (use `copy` to override)
/.../tmp.rs:2     let g = f;

Similar problem:

fn foo(fs: &[&fn()]) {
    let f = fs[0];
}

Fails with:

/.../tmp.rs:2:12: 2:16 error: cannot move out of dereference of & pointer
/.../tmp.rs:2     let f = fs[0];

Because of this it seems to be impossible to iterate over &[&fn()].
